NI-CAN Virtual Ports

Primary Software: Driver Software>>NI-CAN
Primary Software Version: 2.3.2
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
Can I create virtual CAN ports and use them in LabVIEW?

Solution:
As of NI-CAN version 2.3.2 you can simulate 2 CAN ports directly in your code. CAN ports CAN256 and CAN257 are virtual ports that are already created when NI-CAN version 2.3.2 or above is installed. They function like a regular CAN Port and can be accessed from LabVIEW, CVI, or C. They also can communicate with each other effectively, acting as if they are cabled together. For example, if you write a message on CAN256, you can read it on CAN257. For examples on how to use the CAN virtual ports see the example linked below and reference the Example Finder.
